CHENNAI: Developers will now have to earmark space for establishment of sub-station where the total floor area of the buildings exceed 30,000 square metres or power load exceeds 5 Mega Volt Amp (MVA).
Tangedco has been trying to enforce the amendment made to Tamil Nadu Electricity Distribution Code by Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission (TNERC) nearly five months after it was passed on January 29. As per the amendment, the area earmarked for establishment of sub-station shall be specifically shown in the plan and furnished to the distribution licensee by the developers or owners at the time of applying for temporary service connection for construction purposes.
